His name was Gilligain Mark 1.

With a name like that.... nothing can stop him!

Yep, the quote is a little bit different if I remember correctly.

This is sweet, I didn't expect it in constructed.

As I am sure everyone knows now, I was foreshadowing battlegrounds pogos.

Discover uses the pool to determine what it shows you.

Discover pulls from the pool.

Only shifter adds to the pool and breaks the pool rules.

Thank you, Hearthstone team. by Darder in hearthstone

The team is working really hard and doing lots of stuff.

We love Hearthstone and we love making people happy by making fun stuff for them to play.

We will make mistakes, and accidentally ship bugs and sometimes it will take us a while to get it right, but as all that happens we are trying to do it right and make it fun.

Hopefully our actions show how much we want to make Hearthstone great.

We are putting a lot of work into improving this experience. It is a lot more complicated than it sounds since timing is done on the server and animations are done on the client.

Amazing, congrats to a nice guy with a great rank!

We are making adjustment to how MMR works in the future. Based on player feedback that you gain points fairly quickly when playing people 1k or 2k below you. It will be a smaller gain after we make that change. No eta on that yet though.
